Probably better posted in the AMG S class forum...

Looks like a longer S4 from the back...I like the front though. It seems BMW and Audi is simply taking the same looks and making the cars longer just to change the series. Like the new 5 series and 7 series. At least Mercedes is still keeping each model more unique.

Ah, but there are S7 pics in there at least, which is a direct competitor. My main issue w/ the Audi S models is they're always underpowered and bracket the competition (with RS models slated above M or AMG) instead of directly competing.

I was a lil disappointed when I saw the A8 but this looks much better.

I would so rock that S7 though!! It looks serious!!!

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
I like the front end of the S7.
Maybe there's an RS7 in the works?

The interior shots are of the S8.
You can tell from the yacht-inspired shifter in the center console.
Had a chance to sit in the new A8 and I prefer the interior over an S-class or 7 series anyday.

The S7 has a cool looking style to it. I think MB did a better over all job on the CLS.

love em all..I have owned MB and Audi..I like em both equally...no matter if they are underpowered, the audi feels more refined..its a give an take..Never the less, I only buy German..so it's a win win all the way around.

Thanks for sharing.

The A7 looks too plain, the S7 looks good but not aggressive enough for my tastes.
